PREMIÈRE PARTIE : DJOKOVIC (Brest)
The Callas is the tip of an artistic factory producing music, films, artworks, magazines, events, art shows initiated by the brothers Lakis & Aris Ionas.
The band The Callas consists of Aris (guitar, vocals) and Lakis (bass, vocals) Ionas, Chrysanthi Tsoukala (guitar, vocals) and Marilena Petridou (Drums).
Their new album “Half Kiss Half Pain” (Inner Ear) produced by Jim Sclavunos will be released on late January 2016.
“As multi-media artists and filmmakers, they approach music making from a very different perspective than the average musician and come up with some quite unexpected results. The sonic palette of the new album is diverse and exploratory, with songs that range in style from dreamy subversive pop to brutal post-punk skronk to deconstructed rebetiko.” (2015, Jim Sclavunos).
In 2013 they finished their first feature film “LUSTLANDS” (HAOS film) and it was premiered at the 7th Athens Avant-Garde Film Festival
At the moment The Callas are working with Lee Ranaldo for the soundtrack of their new feature film “The Great Eastern”. They are also working with Lee Ranaldo and Leah Singer for a future live performance / installation.
